The Boston Red Sox made their first round of spring training roster cuts Tuesday. They reassigned 10 pitchers and two catchers (Roldani Baldwin and Austin Rei) to minor league camp.
Thaddeus Ward, who Baseball America ranks the No. 10 prospect in the system, was among those reassigned. MLB Pipeline has Ward ranked the No. 9 prospect in the system.
The righty has pitched 1 ⅓ scoreless innings in two spring training outings. He still is scheduled to pitch in Tuesday’s big league spring training game against the Tampa Bay Rays despite being reassigned.
